Moissanite Fire

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but we think moissanite deserves to be a member of the squad too. The way the light catches this radiant gemstone leaves a rainbow of colors sparkling from the center. It’s no surprise that people are drawn to its beauty anywhere you go. What’s the best part about moissanite? It has the sparkle and shine of a diamond, but at a fraction of the cost. No matter what your style is, moissanite looks great with anything and everything.

What is the History of Moissanite?

The particles from this rare gemstone were carried to earth by a meteorite nearly 50,000 years ago. It was first discovered in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan in 1893. The natural form of this gemstone is extremely rare and was later named in the doctor’s honor. It wasn’t until the 1950s when more naturally occurring moissanite was found. Here at JTV, we do the hard work for you by finding lab-created moissanite and bringing this dazzling and durable gem to you in loose stones and jewelry pieces. This means you can enjoy moissanite that is not only stunning, but also resistant to scratching, chipping, and breaking. Synthetic moissanite is so incredibly tough that it is used for body armor and mirrors in orbiting space telescopes. Moissanite is an unforgettable gemstone with more luster and fire than a diamond.

How Do You Clean and Care for Moissanite?

What You'll Need to Get Started:

• Lukewarm water
• Mild dishwashing soap or mild jewelry cleaner
• Soft, clean and dry cloth
• Small, soft-bristle toothbrush or cleaning brush

Before You Begin:
If working over a sink, make sure to plug the drain. Inspect gemstones to ensure all stones are secure. Do this after brushing as well. In a small bowl, prepare a cleaning solution by mixing two tablespoons of mild dishwashing liquid with one quart of lukewarm water. If using a commercial jewelry cleaner, read and follow all instructions. Make sure the expiration date has not passed, since an expired cleaner may be ineffective or damage your jewelry.

To Clean Your Jewelry:

• Soak jewelry 10 to 20 minutes to soften residue and dirt.
• Gently brush sides, top, bottom and underside.
• Rinse with clean water.
• Pat dry with a clean cloth.
• Repeat steps if necessary.
